Ward/Green is only boring to you because you want to see a guy go for a knockout. That's my point - who cares? A win is a win and stylistically, Ward is nowhere near as boring as Bernard Hopkins, I'm sorry. And I'm not a Ward fan - I don't consider him top P4P anything compared to Floyd, but I acknowledge his ring generalship which does stand out. He controls pace in every fight he's been in besides Darnell Boone.Comment

I didn't watch the fight but seeing UD 12 was a joke. I genuinely felt Ward would get a stoppage, imagine GGG or Kovalev fighting someone of Brand's quality, they would have bombed him outta there.
Remember this is a 39 year old, who is a career super middleweight and was pretty much retired for 8 months. A journeyman...wow this was worse than watching Ward v Smith.
Whilst I am not saying that this fight was some stellar victory for Ward, it is still a fact that Brand's last fight was at light heavy and his victory over Medzhid Bektemirov was regarded as a very good one for him
Furthermore, he wasnt retired - he just hadnt fought for eight months. Big ****ing deal!Comment

You people blame everyone but your heroes. You also blamed cab driver Agbeko when Rigo stunk up the place and made the audience exit the doors. It's a fight between two fighters. If your opponent is not throwing anything, you should, especially when you refuse to fight unless it's PPV.Comment

'boring" has been sounding more like " why hasnt this guy lost yet" more....
sure he doesnt get knockouts, no one has a 100 % ko ratio especially at the top level....maybe you find him boring because he outright beats his opponents and it doesnt take some monumental struggle for him to win....if
They said Mayweather was boring...He wasnt imo...it takes two to tango and if what you are doing in the ring is working, why stop? oh yea because casual fans want blood and guts....thats unrealistic, these dudes arent robots.
Pernell whitaker was boring too....more like hard to beat and dominant
Roy was labeled boring and fought mis-mandatories.....he was dominant, not boring.
sounds like you are just reaching for something to criticize, considering Ward CLEARLY beats all of his opponentsComment

Rigo's 50x more boring than Ward. Lara is 30x more boring than Ward. Wlad is 30x more boring than Ward.
Ward's fights are not action packed, but there's a lot of cool nuances if you pay attention to the details. Watching him judge and calculate distance on the fly is pretty amazing.Comment
